Valence Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Valence

Valence sits on the Rhône corridor in the Drôme department, blending a historic riverfront setting with the practical role of a regional hub. Its central location in southeastern France gives the city a steady local identity, while the surrounding landscape and transport links keep it firmly on the investment map.

July 2026 brings the clearest signal: apartment values are easing, even as rental levels continue to edge higher. The average sale price stands at €172,000, after a 4.4% month-on-month decline and an 11.1% drop year on year. At the same time, the average rent price has moved to €570, up 3.6% over the month and 1.7% over the year.

That divergence is visible in the price per square metre too, now at €2,420, down 3.9% from the previous month and 10.5% below last year’s level. For investors, the result is a market where entry pricing has softened, but rental growth has not fully offset the pressure. The reported yield of 5.92% captures that balance: still constructive, yet shaped by the recent fall in capital values more than by a strong rise in rents.
